a poem from the mouth of the poet: RESIST
We used to be
Together
As friends
Almost more..
But that wasn’t important
It didn’t matter how
We were
Or what context
Just that we
Were
It was lovely
Heaven even
It always is when it’s right
Then she hurt me
No detales
None needed
She
Hurt
Me
I know she regrets it
I know I regret it
It happens
Something went away
Not the need to be together
Not the love
Not the friendship
The want
We needed each other
We didn’t want each other
We resisted
What was right
We resisted ourselves
I would have made her laugh today
We would have laughed
And laughed
And laughed till we ran out of air
She didn’t though
She smirked
I nodded
And we went on
Resisting
Knowing that this isn’t right
Not good for us even
We know
We still resist ourselves
Our soulmate
And somehow
We’re okay with it
Somehow
We can live
All the while
Resisting
Our lives
